- My opinion of @elonmusk I like his cars (I own a 2015 S, and 2023 S), his rockets, his solar energy systems, and his satellite communication system. I also like his positions on open source and patents. But I very much disagree with him on a number of issues. I disagree with
- Replying to @elonmusk @bneiluj and @how_many_roads_Over 80 technical papers published since January 2022. What about you?
- You know @elonmusk, I really feel sorry for you and your family to have been infected by a mind virus. But the best defense against a mind virus is intelligence, knowledge, and science. Fighting a mind virus by promoting other mental pathogens, like Trumpism, conspiracy
- Must have been my tweet in defense of Anthony Fauci. Elon's call for Fauci to be prosecuted and imprisoned is pretty high up on the scale of anti-science assholery. Apparently, mistreating scientists is habit, whether they work for him or not.
- This is huge: Llama-v2 is open source, with a license that authorizes commercial use! This is going to change the landscape of the LLM market. Llama-v2 is available on Microsoft Azure and will be available on AWS, Hugging Face and other providers Pretrained and fine-tuned
- X is a $44 billion propaganda machine. Yet it attempts to disguise itself as a defender of unfettered free speech, a source of factual information, and a substitute for professional journalism.Elon Musk (@elonmusk) paid $44 billion dollars for a social media platform so that he could promote Donald Trump and MAGA. It's one of the most expensive (if not the most expensive) campaign tools for a politician ever deployed. It's a $44 billion dollar propaganda machine.
- Replying to @elonmuskJoin xAI if you can stand a boss who: - claims that what you are working on will be solved next year (no pressure). - claims that what you are working on will kill everyone and must be stopped or paused (yay, vacation for 6 months!). - claims to want a "maximally rigorous pursuit
- Elon has apparently one genuine technical paper indexed by Google Scholar: "An Integrated Brain-Machine Interface Platform With Thousands of Channels" Published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research in 2019. The authors? "Elon Musk and Neuralink" I'm sure the scientists
- Replying to @how_many_roads_ and @elonmuskI like his cars, his rockets, his solar panels, and his satellite network. I very much dislike his vengeful politics, his conspiracy theories, and his hype.
- To people who think "China is surpassing the US in AI" the correct thought is "Open source models are surpassing closed ones" See ⬇️⬇️⬇️
- This dude has absolutely no idea WTF he's talking about. The total net worth of my former PhD students alone would make any silvery Wall Street dude turn green with envy.The value of a PhD in 2024 is approaching $0.00
- Replying to @elonmuskThe more likely scenario is that the US becomes more like Norway. High income, universal healthcare, free higher education, low poverty rate, lots of oil *and* lots of Teslas. That would be good for you, no?
